Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a San Jose City College alumnus who is currently in the tail end of law school after transferring to Chico State University from SJCC. I decided to run after learning about the abysmal transfer rate at SJCC and Evergreen Valley College (where I also took paralegal courses.) I am a full-time retail manager and a proud union member (UFCW Local 5.) I was born and raised in San Jose, and have spent most of my adult life living in the East and Downtown San Jose areas. I plan to remain here after law school because San Jose is worth fighting for!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I want to make our community colleges places of opportunity. Whether your goal is to train for a vocational opportunity and enter the workforce immediately after community college, or to transfer to a 4-year university or professional school, there needs to clear Pathways for those things.

• Although my personal higher education path began at San Jose City College and will soon be finished with law school, I had to figure everything out myself on how to transfer to Chico State, and then get into law school after that. My plan is to ensure that current and future students have the same opportunities I did is to revive the Pathway to Law program at both of our campuses, in which students earn an Associate of Arts in Legal Studies with an ABA accredited Paralegal Certificate, and then transfer to a similar program at a 4-year university or begin law school at a Cal Bar accredited local school directly after community college.

• Our community colleges need to reach out to high school juniors and seniors, and especially high academic performers, so they are aware of how beginning their higher education at a community college could benefit them. I chose to enroll at San Jose City College the fall after graduating from San Jose High, over starting as a freshman at Chico State, and I am so glad that I did.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Other than education, I am deeply concerned about homelessness and the lack of affordable housing both within our campus communities, and in San Jose in general. We need to offer support services to homeless and low-income students, including free school meals. I also will have the District explore creating student housing dorms or other housing options if I am elected, as well as pledge to keep our campuses tuition-free, and to eliminate textbook costs in as many courses we can.
